I have a 5 week old Muscovy duckling (5 weeks yesterday) . I'm hoping for a duck so she can just live with my hens, but if it's a drake, I'd like to get him a couple of girlfriends, sooner rather than later, so everyone can integrate easily. Duckling didn't love being the focus of my photo shoot but here's what I got. Is she an Athena or is he a Perseus?

Hen. Hens develop wing feathers much faster than drakes. Also, if you look at the length of her body (starting just after her wings/legs) it is more compact as compared to a drakeling.
Voice at this age is the same fir both sexes, so not an indicator.
